Presonus Music Creation Suite

The PreSonus® Music Creation Suite recording kit is a complete solution
for classrooms, school labs, churches, and home studios! This special
all-PreSonus system combines an
AudioBox USB interface with Studio One® Artist music-production software, Notion
music-notation and composition software, the PS49 USB MIDI keyboard,
HD3 monitoring headphones, an M7 large-diaphragm condenser microphone, a
free
Nimbit account, a powered USB hub, and all necessary cables and mounts.

AudioBox USB
Perfect for desktop and mobile recording, the 2-channel AudioBox USB boasts
high-performance Class A microphone preamplifiers, a headphone jack
with level control, 48V phantom power, and professional-quality, 24-bit,
44.1/48 kHz converters. USB bus-powered, it’s compact, easy to use,
ruggedly built, and designed to work perfectly with Studio One recording
software but also works great with other audio software that supports
ASIO or Core Audio.

We could have stopped right there, but it’s not our way to stop when
we can give you even more for your money. So we included an internal
analog mixer with zero-latency monitoring, enabling you to monitor
recorded tracks and overdubs with no annoying delay time. We included a
USB cable, too!

Studio One Software
Studio One® Artist 2 lets you work quickly and stay focused on your
inspiration. Incredibly easy to learn, it offers unlimited tracks and
plug-in instantiations and delivers features not normally found in
entry-level DAWs. Studio One automatically configures to the AudioBox USB interface and
is compatible with any ASIO-, Windows Audio-, and Core Audio-compliant
interface.

Notion Software
Compose, play back, and edit music with ease!
Notion makes
it simple to write and edit your musical ideas quickly, then hear them
played back with superb orchestral samples recorded by the London
Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios, as well as guitar samples by
Neil Zaza, bass samples by Victor Wooten, and drum samples by Roy
“Futureman” Wooten. You can even perform scores using Notion as a live
instrument and save your performance.

Only Notion allows you to create a score on your Mac or Windows
computer and transfer it to your iPad (Notion for iPad not included),
where you can continue to edit and play back your music. Notion plays
well with others: You can share files via MusicXML and use Notion as a
ReWire host or slave.

PS49 USB Midi Controller Keyboard
Studio One and Notion virtual instruments provide the sounds; the
PS49 USB 2.0 49-key, unweighted, velocity-sensitive MIDI keyboard
provides the action—and the controls. You get seven assignable
controllers, including pitch and modulation wheels, a volume slider, and
four control knobs, plus a sustain-pedal jack (pedal not included).

The PS49 auto-configures with Studio One, so no setup is required.
Quickly tweak all plug-in parameters using Studio One's unique Control
Link feature, control virtual instruments with no setup hassles, easily
map volume automation, and more.An Octave Shift button lets you transpose the keyboard up to +4 or -3
octaves. And of course you can send Program Change commands and change
the MIDI Out channel. A USB cable is included.

M7 Microphone
Condenser mics are the overwhelming choice of recording studio
professionals, due to the very small mass that must be moved by the
in-coming sound wave. This means you can capture musical details,
harmonics, and subtle nuances that would get lost with dynamic mics.
From vocals to acoustic guitar recordings, you’ll hear the difference.Large diaphragm microphones like the M7 tend to “warm up” a sound and
are a great choice for recording vocals and for recording instruments
when you want a “deep” sound.The M7 can be phantom powered from the AudioBox USB interface and
comes with a mic-stand adapter, nine-foot (three-meter) mic cable,
desktop mic stand, and soft carry bag.
